"All the discs will feature extensive bonus content, including interviews with producer/director Roger Corman, audio commentaries, original theatrical trailers, still galleries and archival materials, and the set comes with a 24-page collector’s book."

THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH
• Vintage and rare Introduction and final words from Vincent Price
• Audio Commentary by author Steve Haberman (Silent Screams: The History of the Silent Horror Film)
• Interview with Roger Corman
• Theatrical Trailer
• Still Gallery

Very excited about the slate of supplements in this set. Glad to see that all MGM DVD bonus features are carried over for all of the films in addition to each film getting new extras. This set is worth it for the Dr. Phibes supplements alone, which make up for the previous barebones release.

However, this isn't a definitive set by any means. The following extras are missing:

House of Usher (from Arrow UK Blu-ray)
-Legend to Legend: An interview with director and former Corman apprentice Joe Dante
-Interview with author and Gothic horror expert Jonathan Rigby
-Fragments of the House of Usher: A Specially-commissioned video essay by critic and filmmaker David Cairns examining Cormans film in relation to Poes story
-Archival interview with Vincent Price (this might have been re-edited into another feature)

Masque of the Red Death (from German DVDs & Blu)
-Doesn't appear to include the slightly extended version seen on German discs.

The bonus disc from the MGM Vincent Price Scream Legends box set is also MIA.

I'm still very excited about this set and can't wait to pick it up, but it is annoying needing to own 2 box sets and a couple individual releases in order to have all the supplements available for each film.

Although it's not Scream Factory's fault, it's also annoying that buying this set will only allow me to get rid of my The Fall of the House of Usher/The Pit and the Pendulum dvd. I'll have to keep the Masque of the Red Death in order to keep The Premature Burial, The Haunted Palace in order to keep The Tower of London, and the Witchfinder General and Dr. Phibes discs as part of my Vincent Price Scream Legends Box Set. It's all so terribly inconvenient.

Agreed. Hopefully they remedy this with vol. 2, which they said will be coming as long as this set sells well enough. So everyone, buy a copy!

Am I wrong or this year we've been having a lot of HORROR releases from different companies in US and Europe???

Companies like Shout Factory saw big bucks in doing small genre releases to horror fans still in love with physical media. It seems that the horror fanbase is one of the last few who will go after discs rather than the younger crowd who would rather have everything digital.

I was about to updated the Shout thread with these details but we've got a thread all by itself now don't we?

Having staked his claim with a Rondo-nominated thesis in Little Shoppe of Horrors #29, Justin Humphreys is the go-to guy regarding DR. PHIBES, and I'm excited he is making his audio commentary debut dicussing his favorie movie. And as I said previously, I think the contributions of voice artist Piotr Michael, bringing back Price himself, really make my tracks shine. Here's his test as a teaser ...https://www.dropbox.com/s/6qfyty529u...estPiotr.mp3?m
